My goodness I love long weekends. Can you imagine if every weekend was four days long? Or even three – I don’t want to be greedy.

Let’s HIIT It!
If you’ve been following my travels on Facebook or Twitter recently, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been loving Fitness First’s new look The Zone gym on King Street in the Sydney CBD. The high intensity 30 minute (or 15 minute for the seriously time-poor) classes are an excellent way to escape the computer and burn some serious calories, fast.

Sprint Workout
If you’ve been following Lazy Girl Fitness for a while, you’ll know that my mum is pretty awesome when it comes to fitness and life in general. So when she called me the other week and asked if I’d put together a sprint training session for her and the lovely ladies (and occasional ring-in male) she trains with, I was more than happy to oblige – the only condition was that she had to provide feedback and take some piccies for me. Easy!…
The Importance of Being Flexible (with your workouts at least)
It’s pretty widely acknowledged as fact that for optimum results, you should always ALWAYS go into your workout session with a plan. But what about when you just don’t wanna do legs? You simply cannot do another push up. You will DIE if someone makes you do another kettlebell swing. You can’t! You won’t!

Kettlebell Workout 2
Five-Minute Workout Finisher
You know that feeling, when you get to the end of a workout and you’ve still got a little bit left in the tank? You haven’t quite got enough time for another circuit, but you’ve got a few minutes to spare for something… as long as it’s REALLY worthwhile?…
Things I Love About Exercise
The Inaugural LGF (Home) Gym Workout
Outdoor workouts are fabulous (after all, they’re what LGF was built on!) but there’s nothing wrong with admitting you like to sweat it out in the gym on occasion as well. I actually haven’t had a gym membership in a while now and I must admit, there are times when I do miss it. Lucky for me I got a little dose of the good stuff last weekend while I was at home.

Full Body Kettlebell Workout 1
Kettlebells are one of my favourite pieces of fitness equipment. Compact, versatile and oh-so effective, I can’t remember life as a trainer before them. One of the things I love about them is that you can design a whole workout using only a couple of bells. This means that you can set yourself up in a space on the gym floor and not have to worry about fighting people for the cable machines or treadmills. Or – if you prefer to work out in the comfort of your own home – it means that for a small investment you’ve got yourself a mini gym!

My New Favourite Workout
I’ve got a new favourite workout.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a few days where I’ve been lacking my usual drive to get stuck into a high intensity circuit. I don’t really know why… I think I’ve just been feeling tired after some busy weekends away. Anyway whatever the reason, rather than force the issue, I’ve adapted my workouts a little, turning them into something a little more palatable.
